Barcelona have tabled a massive cash offer for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez. The Daily Mail says yesterday the Spanish club made an opening offer understood to be around £72million.
The outline bid is still short of Liverpool's £80m valuation but shows an acceptance of the 27-year-old's worth.
Wednesday's meeting in London was productive and cordial with sensible expectations placed on both sides.
Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre met with Barcelona power brokers Raúl Sanllehí, Toni Rossich and Jordi Mestre.
Although nothing was finalised there is an expectation that an agreement can be met to grant Suarez his wish to move to Barcelona.
